A place for for news, discussion, memes, and links criticizing capitalism and advancing viewpoints that challenge liberal capitalist ideology. That means any support for any liberal capitalist political party (like the Democrats) is strictly prohibited.
A zero-tolerance policy for bigotry of any kind. Failure to respect this will result in a ban.
RULES:
1 Understand the left starts at anti-capitalism.
2 No Trolling
3 No capitalist apologia, anti-socialism, anti-communism, or liberalism, liberalism is in direct conflict with the left. Support for capitalism or for the parties or ideologies that uphold it are not welcome or tolerated.
4 No imperialism, conservatism, reactionism or Zionism, lessor evil rhetoric. Dismissing 3rd party votes or 'wasted votes on 3rd party' is lessor evil rhetoric.
5 No bigotry, no racism, sexism, antisemitism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, or any type of prejudice.
6 Be civil in comments and no accusations of being a bot, 'paid by Putin,' Tankie, etc. This includes instance shaming.

No, just everything you've said so far.
Yes, which you tried to dismiss with a link and now with ad hominems, zero reasoning.
Sorry, would you have preferred if I copy-pasted the link, so you could feel like your thoughts were unique? Also: An ad hominem isn't just when you get insulted, dumbass
You are dismissing the argument by addressing the person instead of the claims, which you did. Textbook.
PS: if you feel the need to insult people online you might have anger issues, maybe touch some grass?
Sorry, but insulting you isn't dismissing the argument. Dismissing the argument also isn't an ad hominem. An ad hominem is when the character of the person making the argument is attacked as a way of attacking the argument. As I've already spelled out for you and you're too stupid to understand: "You suck" is not an ad hominem. "You suck and therefore your argument sucks" is an ad hominem. "Your argument sucks" also isn't an ad hominem, since you would've otherwise been called out for it ages ago.
Finally, I haven't dismissed the argument, I have addressed it. You are just not the first one to make it, so I won't rewrite the same argument to coddle your sensitivities. The only dismissing arguments here is you, since you are the one insistent on not engaging with the text given to you.
Anyways, learn what words mean and stop supporting fascists ๐
Which is exactly what you did...
No, I just insulted you. Learn the difference you idiot. And I did it after having given you text addressing your argument. Idiot.
